Flat, asphalted bike paths and side roads, ideal for children. If you don’t want to cycle, you can stay on the boat.

Individual arrival in Amsterdam. Embarkation between 2 pm and 4:30 pm. Take the opportunity to discover the city center, go shopping, take a canal tour or visit a museum. At 5 pm there will be a welcome drink and the safety briefing. Then first dinner and tour briefing on board.

The first bike tour starts in Breukelen. You will cycle along the enchanting winding river Vecht, whose banks are lined with impressive castles, stately mansions and special tea houses. You will follow the Vecht to the center of Utrecht, where you can visit the beautiful city center of this historic city: the cathedral with its high tower, canals, special stores and quaint pubs. In the afternoon you continue your tour by boat from Utrecht to Rotterdam.

Today you cycle via the jenever town Schiedam and through the Delfland region to Delft, famous for its porcelain "Delft Blue". Visit the beautiful city center with its small canals, picturesque streets, bridges and avenues. For many guests, a visit to the Delft porcelain factory is one of the highlights of this tour. Later, return to Rotterdam, where a short walking tour of the city is offered in the evening.

Today you either cycle or take the "water bus" to Alblasserdam in about 40 minutes. From here it is only a few minutes by bike to Kinderdijk (UNESCO World Heritage Site with 19 large windmills standing in a row). Afterwards you can choose between a longer bike tour with a visit to the beautiful cheese city of Gouda or a shorter tour through the polder Alblasserwaard. Both tours end in the silver town of Schoonhoven, where you can visit a silversmith.

Info: On some departures the overnight stay in Schoonhoven on day 4 is not possible. The ship will dock in the cheese town of Gouda instead. All cycling highlights remain in the program.

Today you cycle from Schoonhoven through the charming "Green Heart" along small villages and along quiet paths and country roads to Utrecht. On the way you can visit a traditional cheese farm and the Witch Scales House in Oudewater. In the late afternoon the ship departs from Utrecht to Haarlem.

Today there are again two bike tours to choose from. Both tours lead through the enchanting Kennemer Dunes, a nature reserve with many birds, Scottish Highland cattle and Shetland ponies. After visiting the seaside resorts of Bloemendaal aan Zee and Zandvoort, you’ll head back to the ship through forests and the center of Haarlem. On the slightly longer tour, the route also takes you to the historic DeCruquius pumping station, the largest steam engine in the world. During dinner the ship departs for Zaandam.

Info: For departures between March 27 and May 3, there is the possibility to visit the famous tulip exhibition "Keukenhof" from Haarlem (travel costs and entrance fee not included).

On your last cycling day you cycle from Zaandam to the open-air museum "Zaanse Schans",(free entrance), an old traditional village with quaint wooden houses, a cheese dairy, a traditional clog maker and various windmills. Then you cycle back to Amsterdam via the recreation area Twiske. Here you have the whole afternoon and evening to look around the city. If you didn’t take a canal tour on the first day, you can do so now.

Disembarkation after breakfast until 9:30 am. Individual departure or extension in Amsterdam.

Due to varying wind and weather conditions, as well as organizational necessities, we reserve the right to make changes to the route.

Please keep in mind that the ship is both your hotel and a machine that needs to be maintained and operated - both during the day and at night. Operational noise is therefore unavoidable.
